Can you lead a team to implement a new way of working with younger audiences at SignHealth?
We are looking for someone who is passionate about making sure our work is informed, influenced and shaped by children and young people in a meaningful way.
You should be comfortable working with and importantly, involving, young people in your work. You will need to be knowledgeable about good participation principles and have a good understanding of safeguarding plus safe and effective event processes. You will be responsible to deliver the participation approach to our strategic direction.
We are looking for someone who is confident working on their own initiative as well as part of a team. We are keen to see applicants with lived experience of deafness and an understanding of what it is like to be deaf navigating day to day life. We would like to see a demonstrable track record of working with young people in an inclusive way that enables young people from diverse and marginalised communities to take part.
You will be responsible for overseeing our Young People Advisory Board and ensuring best practice is used across our organisation in ensuring deaf young people have a say in decisions that impact them.
